Hi All,
    I hope I'm posting this to the right list. I'm most likely just 
paranoid
but is there something weird going on with the fbi.gov site?

There's also something weird & virus-related going on with at least
one .mil site, according to
http://MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU/CGI/wa.exe?A2=ind0110&L=cloaks&F=&S=&P=5940

1. The new warning that they put out was 
/pressrel/pressrel01/skyfall.htm
2. Then it was changed to /pressrel/pressrel01/101101.htm
3. So after seeing the first url change I tried to go back to 
skyfall.htm
and I got a Not Found error with a
[...]

Noticed that too.  skyfall.htm is... an interesting reference.

Especially in the context of the rush to passage of the supposedly
anti-terrorism "USA" act, yes.
